Article Abstract

YTHDF1 is a well-characterized m6A reader protein that is essential for protein translation, stem cell self-renewal, and embryonic development. YTHDF1 regulates target gene expression by diverse molecular mechanisms, such as promoting protein translation or modulating the stability of mRNA. The cellular levels of YTHDF1 are precisely regulated by a complicated transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and post-translational network. Very solid evidence supports the pivotal role of YTHDF1 in embryonic development and human cancer progression. In this review, we discuss how YTHDF1 influences both the physiological and pathological biology of the central nervous, reproductive and immune systems. Therefore we focus on some relevant aspects of the regulatory role played by YTHDF1 as gene expression, complex cell networking: stem cell self-renewal, embryonic development, and human cancers progression. We propose that YTHDF1 is a promising future cancer biomarker for detection, progression, and prognosis. Targeting YTHDF1 holds therapeutic potential, as the overexpression of YTHDF1 is associated with tumor resistance to chemotherapy and immunotherapy.

The aims of this study were to investigate the effects of re-vitrification at the pronuclear (PN) stage of porcine embryos generated from vitrified oocytes on subsequent development and to clarify if re-vitrification is more feasible at the PN stage or at the blastocyst stage. Immature porcine oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage were vitrified/warmed and subjected to in vitro maturation, parthenogenetic activation (PA), and embryo culture. Subsequent parthenotes were either cultured without re-vitrification for 6 days (GV-vit group) or were re-vitrified 8 h after PA at the PN stage (GV-vit/PN-revit group), and after warming, cultured for 6 days.

Vascular sites have distinct susceptibility to atherosclerosis and aneurysm, yet the epigenomic and transcriptomic underpinning of vascular site-specific disease risk is largely unknown. Here, we performed single-cell chromatin accessibility (scATACseq) and gene expression profiling (scRNAseq) of mouse vascular tissue from three vascular sites. Through interrogation of epigenomic enhancers and gene regulatory networks, we discovered key regulatory enhancers to not only be cell type, but vascular site-specific.

Purpose: This study aimed to report and characterize bilateral renal artery (RA) variations observed during cadaveric dissection and to evaluate these findings in the context of embryological development and morphometric analysis.

Case Presentation: During routine anatomical dissection of an 87-year-old Caucasian male cadaver, bilateral variations in the renal arteries were identified. On the right side, two renal arteries (RRA1 and RRA2) were observed, each giving rise to presegmental and segmental branches.

Stalked crinoids are uncommon fossils in the Cenozoic. This is particularly due to their continuous decline starting from the Late Cretaceous and gradual restriction to the deep-sea environment, which bears a fossil record bias. On the other hand, in recent times, new data have emerged documenting some relict populations of sea lilies in the shallow marine facies from the Cenozoic.

Background: Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) causes fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and is associated with various cognitive and sensory impairments, including olfactory dysfunction. While both genetic and environmental factors contribute to olfactory dysfunction, PAE is considered a significant factor affecting brain development, including the olfactory system. In this study, we investigated the impact of PAE on the developing olfactory bulb (OB), specifically focusing on OB RGCs-radial glial cells that give rise to OB projection neurons.
